 * Yea so I’m a new user, and I installed wordpress via WAMP, I just wanted to know
   if I create a whole blog, how do I transfer it to my godaddy site. Because I 
   saw somewhere it said I had to pay to transfer it, is it true?

 * Some hosts will transfer sites from one server to another for a fee, but I have
   never heard of being charged to use cPanel to upload a database, some content
   and a theme.

 * I guess I’m just not understanding how to use wordpress.org. I’ll just stick 
   to blogger.

 * WordPress is WordPress, a CMS engine that is much more than a blog even though
   it can be used for blogging, and wordpress.org simply makes it possible for your
   WordPress installation to be self-hosted rather than being part of the wordpress.
   com network that is somewhat like an incubator. To move from wordpress.com to
   self-hosted is not difficult, but do be sure you are prepared to begin handling*
   everything* related to your site where wordpress.com had been doing things for
   you. You can have a self-hosted site without having to spend money, just be prepared
   to roll up your sleeves in order to do so.

 * I’m also trying to move my local site to the web, but tis whole site seems to
   suppose that everyone already knows about codes and computers. I don’t get ANYTHING
   that’s being said. I checked
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_to_a_New_Server](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_to_a_New_Server)
 * But there it just says ‘copy your files’. But from where to where do I have to
   copy what exactly? Thanks
